Ready Squad - Calgary Emergency Management Agency

Booth 121

The impacts of disasters and emergencies can disproportionally effect children and youth, and teachers play a key role in helping children and youth prepare and recover from disasters. Ready Squad from CEMA is a free of charge, publicly oriented program that aims to teach children and youth age-appropriate actions to prepare, respond and recover during emergencies; share knowledge with peers and parents; and increase children’s and youth’s emotional resilience surrounding emergencies.
